THE scale of the Holocaust has been "greatly exaggerated", Iran's foreign ministry spokesman said today, adding he had visited several former concentration camps in eastern Europe.

When I was ambassador I saw several of these camps in (the former) East Germany and Poland. In my opinion it has been greatly exaggerated. It is far from what is being publicised, Hamid Reza Asefi said.

His comments come ahead of a conference to be held on December 11 in Iran which the Islamic republic hopes will present hidden aspects of the slaughter of Jews under Nazi Germany.

Different opinions which affirm and reject the Holocaust can attend the conference, the Holocaust is not something that cannot be discussed, Mr Asefi said.

Iran's fiercely anti-Israeli regime is supportive of so-called Holocaust revisionists, who maintain the systematic slaughter by the Nazis of mainland Europe's Jews and other groups during World War II was either invented or exaggerated.

The new Aryan nazis say it never happened and that the Holocaust is open for debate. These are the kind of people we're facing, who deny the Jewish people were the victims of the most infamous crime in the history of man, to give cover to their own plan to finish what Hitler began.

NEVER AGAIN!
